This might help you guys. When your pulling your trailer,you will automatically charge your trailer battery if you hook the #4 lead to your trailer battery. If you have a 7 lug connector.

It sounds like you do not need a lot of power. If a lawn tractor battery has enuff oomph to run the winch, that is your cheapest at $30 a pop. Just keep it charged and replace it every couple years.

I don't belong to Sams club, but my daughter does. What was the cost of your battery??


Can't recall. Let me hunt up the receipt.

What I did was because I never wanted to have a dead battery for the winch. I put a solenoid under the hood of my truck directly to the battery. and ran welding cable back to the rear bumper. Then installed a 50 amp two pole anderson connector plug on the rear bumper with the corresponding plug on the trailer. Start the truck hit the switch for the solenoid and you have all the power you need. Cost is about $140 and never needs replacing. I also cut the clamp ends off a pair of jumper cables and put another anderson connector on. Now I can jump start something without opening the hood.

What I've done is run a wire from power plug of trailer to positive term of winch battery. The truck charging system charges the winch battery while I'm driving.

Could you not run some cable from the battery of the truck and just use that? If you're winching start the truck up?

My truck also charges my battery on both my open trailer and enclosed trailers for the winches while driving down the road. I never buy any special battery. Whatever is on sale. I usually seem to get 7-8 years out of them.

Costco sells Interstate for what ever it’s worth. What is interesting they come with a 42 no co-pay/or warranty across the counter exchange. Their pricing is very good.
